Lie-Nielsen No. 140 Skew Block Plane

This block plane is a derivative of the long unavailable Stanley 140. A block plane with an A2 cryogenically treated skewed blade and removable sidepiece for quick conversion into a rebating plane. Lie-Nielsen have added the further refinements of an adjustable side fence and lowered the blade angle to 20°. The side nicker scores the timber just ahead of the blade making this plane just as more effective working both with and across the grain. 175mm(6.7/8") long by 47.5mm(1.7/8") long by 47.5mm(1.7/8") wide and this fine manganese bronze casting weighs in at 900g(2lb).
